Mungo Jerry / Mungo Jerry 1970
*マンゴ・ジェリー。70年代前半にイギリスで人気絶大だった猿の惑星バンドです。現在、TVCMのトロピカーナのバックで何気無く最大のヒット曲「イン・ザ・サマータイム」が流れて密かに話題沸騰?してないか。これは彼らの1stアルバムで日本では2年前に紙ジャケリリースされたんすが例によって現在入手難らしく中古がえらい値段に。外盤BGOレーベルの2ndとの2in1のお得なやつが入手可ですんで是非それを。せっかく酔狂にもCMでやってくれてるのにねえ。がんがん売ればいいのに。まぬけ。うちで買ったのは例によってアナログ中古。貼ったジャケのやつです。中央部にレコード盤にまで貫通する穴が有りのカット盤。無慈悲な事をします。まー何しろ人気のあったバンドで「イン・ザ・〜」は70年の6月からほぼ2ヶ月間1位の座に座り続けたつう。グラム登場前に若者のオバカ音楽への欲求を一挙に引き受けていたのだ。真面目に分析いたせば60’sサイケの後どどっと出て来たシリアスなヘヴィロックへの反動。アメリカで勃発したダウン・トゥ・アース、ルーツに立ち返ろう運動への英国の回答、そしたらスキッフル・スタイルがそこにあった。てなことになるんでしょうけど私が勝手に想像するに(何しろ出自が情報無いから)、時は1969年世界ウルトラ髭コンテスト・イン・英国大会がロンドンで行われた時に一人の若者が脚光を浴びることとなった。彼の名はレイ・ドーセット。何しろその髭はもみ上げ部から一直線に下に伸びアゴで連結するところを丁寧にそこだけ剃っているつうマサルさんならもう嬉しくて卒倒しちゃうってなもの。そのあまりの衝撃に開催5分後に優勝が決定。エントリーしていた他のメンバーも素直にそれに従いすっかり意気投合。何かをしようってことになりました。目的は世界中に髭を普及することで一番手っ取り早いのは時代は音楽だってな訳でバンド結成。さー何をしようか。ドラム叩けるやつはおるか?おらん。ほら何とかって言ったエリックか、やつみたいにサラサラサラーってギター弾けるやつおるか?おらん。じゃ何でもいいや出来る楽器弾けや。これで出来る音楽つうと。「うちのお父さんがこんなレコード持ってました親分」とメンバーが持って来たのは古いブルース、タンパ・レッドとか。それとコメディ、ボードビル。わははこりゃええわとよくも聴きもせないで早速始めました。何曲か録音したところでレコード会社に送付。「どこがいいかな。」「こんなん出してくれるのはPYEってとこだけらしいすよ。」。送ったら即採用。この時期色々訳のわからん音楽が続出。それがまたそれなりに売れちゃったもんだから会社の人も何がいいか判断が出来なくっていたのだ。思う壺。アルバムを録音しました。「あー、歌詞が出来てねえや、しかたねえお前カズーでソロやれ。」「親分2番です」「ぎゃはは、おもしれえな。え2番、うっぱぱふぱふぺぺぽんぽんぽん、歌詞なんかいらないぞ。」てな具合に完成。発売。会社のお偉いさんは目が点。「やばい。この先いつまた録音できるかわからんからもう1曲」と録音して出したシングル「イン・ザ・サマータイム」が大ヒット。したもんだからもう調子にのって自信満々。これで突っ走るぞー。となったのかと。音楽はそうだなビートルズで言えば「ハニー・パイ」「レディ・マドンナ」、ポールさんお得意のうんぱうんぱものを演奏しながらコケて泥まみれになったようなものかと。泥だらけになって顔を上げたら満面の笑顔にスキっ歯。私、正直言ってヒット曲だけ聴いた段階では少々不気味で何じゃこりゃ感強くて。ようやくこうしてオリジナル・アルバム聴いて納得しました。底抜けに楽しいやつらです。目的はそれだけだったのかー。さらにトランプって曲。ふと真顔になってとてつもなくリリカル。踵の先から頭の天辺までしみた。他には・・・うーんと教えてあげない。清水の舞台によじ登って買っても何ら後悔しない名盤です。そういやそうだ、まともなドラムは全く入ってないんだこのアルバム。気が付かなかったよ。

SORRY,Mistranslation multi.
*Mungo Jerry. It is a popular, full Battle For The Planet Of The Apes band in Britain in the first half of 70's. Are backing of Tropicana of TVCM it, what nature do not exist by you, flow of biggest hit tune "Inn Za Daylight Saving Time", and topic boil close now?Do not you do?Paper is Jakeriresed to this with their 1st albums in Japan two years ago, and the commode seeming is an obtaining difficulty now and : to the price with great Middle Ages according to the example. The guy that 2in1 with 2nd of outside board BGO label is profitable can obtain, end, and it by all means. It is sleep food though does by CM playful with great pains. It only has to sell it loudly. Stupidity. As for purchase, the analogue is used according to the example. It is a guy of pasted Jake. Cutting board there is hole that penetrates even to record board in center part. A merciless thing is done. It is of keeping sitting . in the seat in 1st place for almost two months from an anyway popular ー band June of 70 years ..reeling.. .."..Inn.. Za"... The desire to young person's Obaca music had been undertaken all at once before the gram appeared. Reactionary to serious Hevirocc of which goes out suddenly after psychedelic 60's if it seriously analyzes it. The skiffle style was Britain's answering to the movement that came back to the down Tu earth and the root that broke out in the United States there. It became in and time came for me to imagine it without permission (Anyway, origins are an information no squids) with the highlight of one young person when the world ultra beard contest Inn and a British rally were held in London in 1969 though it might be. His name is lei Dorset. It politely shaves only there, and if it is Masal, I am already glad anyway, it faints, and the beard is as for connection from sideburns straight below by the expansion jaw. The victory will be decided to the impact of the remainder in five minutes. Other members who were entering it also agree obediently completely according to it. Something was done and the way. Band formation of the purpose quickest beard spreads all over the world of music in age with ..becoming it.. YacShall do it do and ー what shall we do?Is there a guy who can beat the drum?.Is they boasts how many, Eric it is who said, and is Sarasarasarar guitar popping in wanting pile up?.Then, it pops musical instruments it is possible to do as soon as anything is good. Music that can be done by this. It is the old blues, and Tampa red that "Such ..possession.. ..father.. a Oya of the record" and the member brought. It, comedy, and vaudeville. It was immediately started to listen to and not to burn it with. It sends it to the recording label in places in which it recorded how many it is. "Where is good?" and "It is PYE what that doesn't come to be put out. "It immediately adopts it when sending it. Music not to understand these time various translations comes out one after another. There was a person in the company what good without it was possible to do because it had massaged it, that it had sold as such again the judgment, too. Thought jar. It recorded an album. "Each other Make ー and lyrics and do solo with the kazoo in front of the sleep getting and method" and "Bosses secondarily it. "「Is ,. And lyrics will be .... bang bang unnecessary. the second food」..condition.. completion. Sale. Eyes of great Mr. in the company are the points. 「Corbicula. It 1 that twines when this ahead not to understand whether to record. 」It records and single "Inn Za Daylight Saving Time" put out is a smash hit. Done it is already on a roll and confidence be full of in the condition because it massaged it. It is this and ..running fast.. ー. Did it become it?Is it the one that it got covered with Coke mud? perform ..music.. of "Honey pie", "Lady Madonna", and the Paul forte if it says in Beatles ..so..They are Ski teeth in the smile of the whole face when becoming only mud and looking up. I am a little eerie at the stage in which it listened only to the hit to tell the truth and feeling strong when absorbing it in what. It listened to the original album at last thus and it consented. They are happy guys in bottomless. Was the purpose only it?In addition, cards are tunes. It puts on a serious look by chance, and it is extraordinary and lyrical. Even the top of the head was done and seen the heel ahead. another.. ・・・ Well it doesn't teach. It is any great boards not regretted even if Shimizu's stage scrambles and it buys it. It seems to be a so unpleasant, and a straight drum a complete album of entering. It did not notice it.
